Improved Mobs – Changing mobs’ behavior

Do you like everything about the standard mobs’ behavior in Minecraft or do you feel like changing some effects, game mechanics, or other aspects? The Mojang developers rarely work on any mobs’ behavior, and if they added them into the game, they simply move on to other content in the next major update. Therefore, enthusiasts have to develop mods themselves to make any changes in the behavior of various Minecraft creatures. Sometimes, you are «stressed out» with their clumsy motions, and in some cases, you may feel annoyed that creepers just spontaneously appear somewhere around and explode, taking part of the loot, right?

You can fix most of these points by installing the Improved Mobs mod in Minecraft. It helps you add a new complexity system into the game world, diversify some creatures’ appearance, complements them with armor to them, ability to climb stairs, looting abilities, and other unique features that make no significant changes in the vanilla survival principle but at the same time perfectly fit into the general game style. If you are ready to bring something new to Minecraft and change it a little, check out the list of changes below.

The Improved Mobs mod review

You won’t see most of the changes introduced by this mod right away, but when following your survival path and studying different biomes, you’ll notice them. Here’s a complete list of all the new features and changes that you’ll find in the game after installing the Improved Mobs mod:

· A unique complexity system: a personal complexity system has been introduced to the game, which grows by a conditional point every day. The more you play in the created world of Minecraft, the stronger the mobs around you. This applies to any biomes, locations, and modes;

· Damage, health, speed, and resistance of many mobs in the game grows along with the complexity level. This is due to the first point, which we mentioned in the paragraph above;

· From now on, all hostile mobs in the game can appear wearing different armor or its certain elements. These may include diamond armor, chain armor, a full or a partial set. Moreover, the Improved Mobs mod supports the integration of armor from other add-ons. For example, if you have some mod installed that added a new armor, mobs can appear wearing it;

· Creatures can destroy blocks on their way if these elements interfere with their moving. When searching for possible paths, such blocks are taken into account, but if a mob can’t find any alternative route, it will automatically start to destroy these objects. Now, your buildings made of any materials can be broken if mobs decide to «kill» you;

· Almost all the creatures in Minecraft will now be able to climb stairs and calculate the fastest ways to achieve their goal in any of the planes;

· Even when mobs have no goal, they can become «looters», stealing items from nearby treasuries, dungeons, players’ homes, and peaceful villages. However, mobs can’t rob those locations where the player hasn’t opened any chests. For example, if you haven’t opened a treasury before, zombies or skeletons won’t be able to get items from chests even if they’ve broken into it;

· If a mob finds itself in the water, it can summon a special guardian, who will transport it to the land. Its only goal is – to transport creatures, so the guardian can’t do any harm to the player. From now on, most of the mobs in the game will move faster wherever you are at the moment;

· Another option of summoning additional «assistances» – is parrots. Mobs can also use them for different tasks;

· The Minecraft villagers can be attacked not only by zombies, but by other mobs as well, and this can happen at different times of the day and night. Now, it will become extremely difficult for the villagers to escape, and if you notice hostile creatures on the territory of a settlement – be quick to kill them;

· To solve everyday tasks, mobs can use a variety of items in the game: fast movement using the Ender Pearl, setting the target on fire with silicon, throwing snowballs at the targets, locating lava around the targets, and throwing potions. The system also gives certain abilities to those mobs who have enchanted books;

· You can give armor to your pets to protect them from other mobs, since most of them are extremely aggressive to all the surrounding creatures;

· Now, you can’t kill your pets when fighting monsters because of the blocked damage to your tamed creatures.

This is far from a complete list of changes in the Improved Mobs mod; however, it’s enough to give you an idea of how much the mobs’ behavior mechanics will change in the game, how they will now behave in battle or towards other creatures. Survival in Minecraft turns into a real quest, although the vanilla version of the game has long been lacking such elements and changes. If you are ready for this set of options, install the Improved Mob mod and apply all its features. We’ve got a really cool product, which the developer keeps updating all the time to suit new versions of the game. We’re waiting for your feedback under this review: be sure to mention what you liked and what you didn’t…
